Celebrating the diversity in song, this recital co-curated by mezzo-soprano Ronnita Miller (Merola ’05) and tenor Nicholas Phan will explore the many things our hearts desire. Featuring compositions by women and people of color, the program will include selections about romantic desire, physical desire, and the longing for home, for rest, for peace, and for a better world performed by select 2021 Merola young artists.
